WORLD CHOCOLATE MASTERS
October 2017
Best Chocolate Snack to go
2nd Place
The World Chocolate Masters is the only competition in the world dedicated to the individual creativity of chocolatiers and pastry chefs with chocolate
Futropolis - The Theme
A quest for tomorrow’s chocolate flavours
By 2025, half of the world’s population will live in megacities with 10 million inhabitants or more. Cities that are green at heart, and where all colours, cultures and tribes meet. Cities where different disciplines and creative juices connect: art, design, gastronomy, food growing and so much more!
How will chefs source inspiration from these cities? How will these cities define tomorrow’s flavours? How will they influence the next generation of chocolate and pastry products? That’s our quest during this new edition of the World Chocolate Masters. More than ever, this is a competition oriented towards the future of cocoa and chocolate. Tomorrow’s flavours lead to Futropolis.
